This is a risotto that easy to make, and you do not need to stand at the stove stirring constantly. Serve it with a simple garden salad drizzled with Italian or French Dressing. A creamy prawn risotto – made easy! I have a friend who is scared of making risotto because she thinks it’s really hard. Scarred by all those Masterchef episodes where the nervous contestant presents their risotto to the judges and stands there awkwardly, sweating and shaking while the judges peer and prod at the dish before having a taste, chewing slowly with such serious looks on their faces you’d think they were trying to find a solution for World Peace....

Sausage Options in Creamy Sausage Potato Soup: We love the flavor of a good country sausage in this soup, but we understand that not everyone eats pork. You can always substitute with ground chicken or turkey, however, you will miss out on the amazing spices and flavor present in the country sausage. Soup Chunkiness: While we prefer to leave this soup really chunky, you really can make this soup as creamy or as chunky as you like....

So what is a plantain? Plantains are like an oversized banana, but rather than being soft and sweet like a ripe banana, plantains are starchy and cooked and eaten more like a vegetable than a fruit. They are technically a fruit, but treated more like a vegetable. You wouldn’t just peel a plantain and eat it raw, but rather you’d do something like this recipe and pan fry them or bake them....

The first thing to go on the buffet table? ✔ Easy to make ahead and reheat/assemble later? ✔ Inexpensive ingredients? ✔ Flippin’ delicious? ✔ Ok, so now that’s all covered, let’s get right on with the Buffalo chicken wings recipe! Each wing is chopped into the two pieces, dried thoroughly with kitchen towels (to ensure they don’t absorb too much baking powder) then mixed in a bowl with baking powder (it HAS to be baking powder, NOT baking soda), salt and pepper....

They are absolutely not a compromise! They are wonderfully crispy and very flavorful. These crab cakes are amazing. They are crispy, delicious, and very filling. My entire family loves them, so I make them quite often. They’re so good, in fact, that I often serve them as a main dish rather than as an appetizer. They don’t contain any breadcrumbs. Instead of those, I use almond flour. The result is marvelous - just as crispy and tasty as traditional recipes....

What Is a Dark and Stormy? It consists of rum and ginger beer, and maybe, just maybe, a splash of lime. But it can’t be just any old rum. Dark rum is a necessity, and if you want to make the drink true and proper, it must be Gosling’s black rum. How To Drink a Dark and Stormy The rum is often served floating on top, mimicking a stormy sky. The first thing any seasoned Dark and Stormy drinker will do, however, is stir it up....

Summer meant pick-up games of “pickle” on the quiet street in front of our house, stealing bases, and hoping the kid with the ball would overshoot. It seemed almost every day the ice cream truck came by, our highly trained ears could pick up the tune blocks away. If there was a pool, we played “MARCO POLO” (caps for emphasis, we were loud) for hours and hours. How did our parents put up with us?...

When I first made this dirty cauliflower rice, I was impressed by the massive flavor that came out of a small number of ingredients. Then I decided to add some cilantro and a jalapeno – GAME OVER. I couldn’t get enough. It’s what Erica calls “sneaky spicy”. It’s not too hot but the more you eat the more you taste the spice and keep wanting more. Somehow I think I managed to eat the whole jalapeno....

The Martini is famously that drink. Adjusting the vermouth up or down changes it from “wet” to “bone dry;” trade out the garnish to cocktail onions and you suddenly have a “Gibson.” Or dash in some orange bitters, and your glass will more closely resemble how the drink was served at the turn of the 20th century. And, when it’s lightly laced with olive brine—or heavily doused, depending on your preference—it becomes a Dirty Martini....

An Inexpensive Crowd Pleaser As I started to make it more and more I began to notice that friends started to drop by for dinner with increasing frequency. This was fine as all I had to do was add a bit more chicken stock and soy sauce and toss in another beaten egg. I could feed my guests cheaply and enjoy their company. Just Like Restaurant Egg Drop Soup! For years I ate what I thought had been faux egg drop soup cobbled together by a hungry student, however, it was only recently I discovered that my recipe was actually quite accurate....

I love to pack this meal full of crunchy veg like green beans, mange tout, peppers and beansprouts because - I’m not kidding - all of them taste fantastic in this sauce. Add in whatever veg you have in the fridge - broccoli, thin-sliced carrots, courgette, asparagus, just throw it all in and you’ll get your five-a-day without even noticing. You can even swap around the meat - reduce the simmering time by 20 minutes and go for thin sliced steak or chicken, or simply leave out the meat entirely and go completely veggie....

It’s one of those simple-yet-fabulous recipes! It’s ready in about 25 minutes, and it goes well with countless main dishes. I love carrots. 🥕I enjoy them raw, dipped in ranch dressing, or in a Greek yogurt dip. They make a great snack. It’s convenient that a big bag of fresh carrots keeps in the fridge for several weeks when properly stored. I also like them cooked, and steaming is, by far, my favorite way of enjoying them....

White Pepper vs. Black Pepper: White pepper and black pepper are both the fruit of the pepper plant. They are processed differently which causes the change in color, and end up tasting slightly different. White pepper is hotter than black pepper, but black pepper has a more complex flavor. White pepper tends to have more floral and earthy notes to it. Pasta Options for Easy Stovetop Mac and Cheese: Mac and cheese traditionally uses macaroni, but you really can use almost any small, tube shaped pasta....

Tzatziki sauce can only be as good as the ingredients used. High quality extra-virgin olive oil, full-fat greek yogurt, fresh squeezed lemon juice, crisp cucumbers, and fresh (not dried) dill will all make for an amazing Tzatziki sauce. Store bought lemon juice and bottom shelf olive oil have no place in an authentic Tzatziki sauce recipe. Simple, quality, fresh ingredients are what make this recipe so exceptional. Fresh Dill Substitutes: We highly recommend fresh dill....
